Garand Thumb KS-23 video

[870P]

I kind of wanted one about 10 years ago when an importer here was considering bring them in.

Just watched this. I want one. Looks like a lot of fun. Grew up as a kid with Lee Enfield’s. That brass buttplate kinds teaches you how to deal with recoil. Guessing that shotgun has some stout kick. ��

I've heard the factory 23mm buckshot is only equivalent to 12 gauge in power, although I don't know if that's also true of slugs?

These would have been banned with the OIC lol, but then again they're so stupid they managed to ban some 12 gauges too....

That being said of course I would also want one! Who wouldn't want to show off the size of those massive shells?

It's a fake mock-up of a KS-23 firing handloaded ammo that is mostly a guess at the real stuff. Cool video but a bit disappointing.

Interesting video, not sure why I want one.

The real buckshot rounds aren't super impressive, with the one on the right literally being a 00 12 gauge shell in an ejectable chamber insert.

Compared to say, a heavy 10 gauge buck load, where you're looking at 24 pellets of 00 at 1200 fps, the factory loads aren't all that stout due to their very low operating pressure.

4 Guage…

Interesting but a novelty

Very cool picture, thanks for sharing!
